of daily living and meet the minimum of items displayed (encourages proper laundry rotation).

2-2. Barracks Life

Principles of cadet barracks life common to all are:

a. Military Transition . To provide Cadets with a proper living environment where they can

transition into and better understand military life and the living conditions of their future Soldiers.

b. Academic Setting . To provide Cadets with the academic setting to stimulate and enhance

intellectual development.

c. Diverse Environmen t. To teach Cadets how to live in a diverse environment.

d. Safety and Security . To provide a safe, secure, and healthy living environment for USCC.

e. Proper Habits . To teach proper habits of cleanliness, organization, and the practice of

inspecting and learning attention to detail.

2-3. Barracks Utilization.

a. Cadet companies will be billeted together to maintain integrity and to facilitate command

and control.

b. When possible, all cadets will reside on the same floor. When not possible, TAC teams will

do their best to reduce the amount of 4CL and 3CL rooms not within the company footprint.
